Module Overview
This driver provides an interface for the Analog-to-Digital conversion functions on the device, to convert
analog voltages to a corresponding digital value. The ADC has up to 12-bit resolution, and is capable of
converting up to 1,000,000 samples per second (MSPS).
The ADC has a compare function for accurate monitoring of user defined thresholds with minimum
software intervention required. The ADC may be configured for 8-, 10-, or 12-bit result, reducing the
conversion time. ADC conversion results are provided left or right adjusted which eases calculation when
the result is represented as a signed integer.
The input selection is flexible, and both single-ended and differential measurements can be made. For
differential measurements, an optional gain stage is available to increase the dynamic range. In addition,
several internal signal inputs are available. The ADC can provide both signed and unsigned results.
The ADC measurements can either be started by application software or an incoming event from another
peripheral in the device, and both internal and external reference voltages can be selected.
Note: Internal references will be enabled by the driver, but not disabled. Any reference not used by the
application should be disabled by the application.
A simplified block diagram of the ADC can be seen in Figure 3-1 Module Overview on page 5.

3.1.
Sample Clock Prescaler
The ADC features a prescaler, which enables conversion at lower clock rates than the input Generic
Clock to the ADC module. This feature can be used to lower the synchronization time of the digital
interface to the ADC module via a high speed Generic Clock frequency, while still allowing the ADC
sampling rate to be reduced.
3.2.
ADC Resolution
The ADC supports full 8-, 10-, or 12-bit resolution. Hardware oversampling and decimation can be used
to increase the effective resolution at the expense of throughput. Using oversampling and decimation
mode the ADC resolution is increased from 12-bit to an effective 13-, 14-, 15-, or 16-bit. In these modes
the conversion rate is reduced, as a greater number of samples is used to achieve the increased

resolution. The available resolutions and effective conversion rate is listed in Table 3-1 Effective ADC

Conversion rate divided by 256
Conversion Modes
ADC conversions can be software triggered on demand by the user application, if continuous sampling is
not required. It is also possible to configure the ADC in free running mode, where new conversions are
started as soon as the previous conversion is completed, or configure the ADC to scan across a number
of input pins (see Pin Scan).
3.4.
Differential and Single-ended Conversion
The ADC has two conversion modes; differential and single-ended. When measuring signals where the
positive input pin is always at a higher voltage than the negative input pin, the single-ended conversion
mode should be used in order to achieve a full 12-bit output resolution.
If however the positive input pin voltage may drop below the negative input pin the signed differential
mode should be used.
3.5.
Sample Time
The sample time for each ADC conversion is configurable as a number of half prescaled ADC clock
cycles (depending on the prescaler value), allowing the user application to achieve faster or slower
sampling depending on the source impedance of the ADC input channels. For applications with high
impedance inputs the sample time can be increased to give the ADC an adequate time to sample and
convert the input channel.
The resulting sampling time is given by the following equation:
������
������� = ������_�����ℎ + 1 ×
2
3.6.
Averaging
The ADC can be configured to trade conversion speed for accuracy by averaging multiple samples in
hardware. This feature is suitable when operating in noisy conditions.
You can specify any number of samples to accumulate (up to 1024) and the divide ratio to use (up to
divide by 128). To modify these settings the ADC_RESOLUTION_CUSTOM needs to be set as the
resolution. When this is set the number of samples to accumulate and the division ratio can be set by the

configuration struct members adc_config::accumulate_samples and adc_config::divide_result. When
using this mode the ADC result register will be set to be 16-bit wide to accommodate the larger result
sizes produced by the accumulator.
The effective ADC conversion rate will be reduced by a factor of the number of accumulated samples;
however, the effective resolution will be increased according to Table 3-2 Effective ADC Resolution From
Various Hardware Averaging Modes on page 7.

Offset and Gain Correction
Inherent gain and offset errors affect the absolute accuracy of the ADC.
The offset error is defined as the deviation of the ADC's actual transfer function from ideal straight line at
zero input voltage.
The gain error is defined as the deviation of the last output step's midpoint from the ideal straight line,
after compensating for offset error.
The offset correction value is subtracted from the converted data before the result is ready. The gain
correction value is multiplied with the offset corrected value.
The equation for both offset and gain error compensation is shown below:
��������� = ��������� + ���������� × ��������
When enabled, a given set of offset and gain correction values can be applied to the sampled data in
hardware, giving a corrected stream of sample data to the user application at the cost of an increased
sample latency.
In single conversion, a latency of 13 ADC Generic Clock cycles is added for the final sample result
availability. As the correction time is always less than the propagation delay, in free running mode this

7
latency appears only during the first conversion. After the first conversion is complete, future conversion
results are available at the defined sampling rate.
3.8.
Pin Scan
In pin scan mode, the first ADC conversion will begin from the configured positive channel, plus the
requested starting offset. When the first conversion is completed, the next conversion will start at the next
positive input channel and so on, until all requested pins to scan have been sampled and converted. SAM
L21/L22 has automatic sequences feature instead of pin scan mode. In automatic sequence mode, all of
32 positives inputs can be included in a sequence. The sequence starts from the lowest input, and go to
the next enabled input automatically.
Pin scanning gives a simple mechanism to sample a large number of physical input channel samples,
using a single physical ADC channel.
3.9.
Window Monitor
The ADC module window monitor function can be used to automatically compare the conversion result
against a preconfigured pair of upper and lower threshold values.
The threshold values are evaluated differently, depending on whether differential or single-ended mode is
selected. In differential mode, the upper and lower thresholds are evaluated as signed values for the
comparison, while in single-ended mode the comparisons are made as a set of unsigned values.
The significant bits of the lower window monitor threshold and upper window monitor threshold values are
user-configurable, and follow the overall ADC sampling bit precision set when the ADC is configured by
the user application. For example, only the eight lower bits of the window threshold values will be
compared to the sampled data whilst the ADC is configured in 8-bit mode. In addition, if using differential
mode, the 8th bit will be considered as the sign bit even if bit 9 is zero.
3.10.
Events
Event generation and event actions are configurable in the ADC.
The ADC has two actions that can be triggered upon event reception:
•
Start conversion
•
Flush pipeline and start conversion
The ADC can generate two events:
•
Window monitor
•
Result ready
If the event actions are enabled in the configuration, any incoming event will trigger the action.
If the window monitor event is enabled, an event will be generated when the configured window condition
is detected.
If the result ready event is enabled, an event will be generated when a conversion is completed.
Note: The connection of events between modules requires the use of the SAM Event System Driver
(EVENTS) to route output event of one module to the input event of another. For more information on
event routing, refer to the event driver documentation.

Special Considerations
An integrated analog temperature sensor is available for use with the ADC. The bandgap voltage, as well
as the scaled I/O and core voltages can also be measured by the ADC. For internal ADC inputs, the
internal source(s) may need to be manually enabled by the user application before they can be
measured.

Workflow
1.
Create a module software instance structure for the ADC module to store the ADC driver state
while in use.
struct adc_module adc_instance;
2.
Note: This should never go out of scope as long as the module is in use. In most cases, this
should be global.
Configure the ADC module.
1.
Create an ADC module configuration struct, which can be filled out to adjust the configuration
of a physical ADC peripheral.
struct adc_config config_adc;
2.
Initialize the ADC configuration struct with the module's default values.
adc_get_config_defaults(&config_adc);
3.
Note: This should always be performed before using the configuration struct to ensure that
all values are initialized to known default settings.
Set ADC configurations.
#if (SAMC21)
adc_init(&adc_instance, ADC1, &config_adc);
#else
adc_init(&adc_instance, ADC, &config_adc);
#endif

9.2.1.3.
Workflow
1.
Create a module software instance structure for the ADC module to store the ADC driver state
while in use.
struct adc_module adc_instance;
2.
Note: This should never go out of scope as long as the module is in use. In most cases, this
should be global.
Create a buffer for the ADC samples to be stored in by the driver asynchronously.
#define ADC_SAMPLES 128
uint16_t adc_result_buffer[ADC_SAMPLES];
3.
Create a callback function that will be called each time the ADC completes an asynchronous read
job.
volatile bool adc_read_done = false;
void adc_complete_callback(
struct adc_module *const module)
{
}
4.
adc_read_done = true;
Configure the ADC module.
1. Create an ADC module configuration struct, which can be filled out to adjust the configuration
of a physical ADC peripheral.
struct adc_config config_adc;
2.
Initialize the ADC configuration struct with the module's default values.
adc_get_config_defaults(&config_adc);
3.
Note: This should always be performed before using the configuration struct to ensure that
all values are initialized to known default settings.
Change the ADC module configuration to suit the application.
#if (!SAML21) && (!SAML22) && (!SAMC21)
config_adc.gain_factor
= ADC_GAIN_FACTOR_DIV2;
#endif
config_adc.clock_prescaler = ADC_CLOCK_PRESCALER_DIV8;
config_adc.reference
= ADC_REFERENCE_INTVCC1;
#if (SAMC21)
config_adc.positive_input = ADC_POSITIVE_INPUT_PIN5;
#else
config_adc.positive_input = ADC_POSITIVE_INPUT_PIN6;
#endif
config_adc.resolution
= ADC_RESOLUTION_12BIT;
4.
Set ADC configurations.
#if (SAMC21)
adc_init(&adc_instance, ADC1, &config_adc);
#else
adc_init(&adc_instance, ADC, &config_adc);
#endif
5.
Enable the ADC module so that conversions can be made.
adc_enable(&adc_instance);

5.
Register and enable the ADC Read Buffer Complete callback handler.
1. Register the user-provided Read Buffer Complete callback function with the driver, so that it
will be run when an asynchronous buffer read job completes.
adc_register_callback(&adc_instance,
adc_complete_callback, ADC_CALLBACK_READ_BUFFER);
2.
Enable the Read Buffer Complete callback so that it will generate callbacks.
adc_enable_callback(&adc_instance, ADC_CALLBACK_READ_BUFFER);
9.2.2.
Use Case
9.2.2.1.
Code
Copy-paste the following code to your user application:
system_interrupt_enable_global();
adc_read_buffer_job(&adc_instance, adc_result_buffer, ADC_SAMPLES);
while (adc_read_done == false) {
/* Wait for asynchronous ADC read to complete */
}
while (1) {
/* Infinite loop */
}
9.2.2.2.
Workflow
1.
Enable global interrupts, so that callbacks can be generated by the driver.
system_interrupt_enable_global();
2.
Start an asynchronous ADC conversion, to store ADC samples into the global buffer and generate
a callback when complete.
adc_read_buffer_job(&adc_instance, adc_result_buffer, ADC_SAMPLES);
3.
Wait until the asynchronous conversion is complete.
while (adc_read_done == false) {
/* Wait for asynchronous ADC read to complete */
}
4.
Enter an infinite loop once the conversion is complete.
while (1) {
/* Infinite loop */
}
